A thriving independent bookshop has occupied the ground floor of this red-brick building on Main Street for a number of years. The property's earlier career included being two houses and its history has also included hosting a bakery & baker's shop and a butcher's shop & premises, at different times. The upper floor currently houses a tea shop. After a mile or so the road ahead 'becomes' Epperstone Road and the latter links to the Epperstone By-Pass (i.e. the A6097), a dual carriageway that was constructed just prior to the Second World War.
